At the time of the inspection, a metal sign <br />was posted at the road entrance to the mine on a metal pole just below a speed limit sign. <br />CSU regrets not pointing this out during the inspection. <br />• Regarding you inspection finding that the affected land boundary had not been completely <br />marked, CSU plans to have the affected land boundary surveyed and re-staked to completely <br />mark the boundary by April 30, 1995, as requested in the inspection report. <br />Regarding you inspection finding that topsoil was placed outside the west permit boundary, <br />CSU has submitted, as part of its annual report, a map showing the area that exceeds the <br />boundary limits. It is CSU's understanding that a Formal Public Hearing will be held on this <br />matter during the March 1995 Board meeting. CSU intends to request a technical revision to <br />the permit during this hearing. This request was also noted in the annual report. Any <br />assistance you can provide on presenting this request to the Board would be much <br />appreciated. <br />I want to thank you for your assistance in helping CSU comply with Colorado Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board Regulations. Please do not hesitate to call me if there are any questions at <br />(719)636-5871. <br />Sincerely, <br />~.' ~+~~~ <br />M.
